Teacher Education Information

Required Related Courses
BIO 110 Gen Bio
MTH 115 Calculus I
PHY 120 General Physics I
PHY 210 General Physics II

Highly Recommended
A second biology course will fulfill the endorsement requirements for middle school and high school general science.

*Enrolling as PHY 321 will meet the requirement for a Physics endorsement, but CHM 321/PHY 321 requires more math than CHM 310

Chemistry Education majors are required to serve at least one semester as a laboratory assistant and must complete the safety training program as part of that requirement (See Dept. Chair)

Note: Technology Proficiency Required
CIS 105 recommended as preparation for successful completion of proficiency or as remediation.
